The effects of reducing agent (SnO2 and SeO2) Accepted date: concentrations on coloration of gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) in glass samples have 29 September 2018 been investigated. The glasses with chemical compositions of SiO2, B2O3, Al2O3, Na2O, CaO, K2O, Sb2O3, SnO2, SeO2 and AuNPs were fabricated by conventional Keywords: Gold nanoparticles melt-quench technique at 1,200C in normal atmosphere. The results found that the Reducing agent red glasses were obtained by SnO2 with concentration of 0.5 wt% and SeO2 with Red glasses concentration of 0.05 wt%. The color of glasses were confirmed by UV-visible spectrophotometer in the wavelength range 300-1100 nm and color coordinate in CIE L*a*b* system. Moreover, the color of glasses were obtained immediately when took the glass out of furnace without second heat treatment. -
Glass and Glass-Ceramics
Chapter 3 Sintering and Microstructure of Ceramics 3.1. Sintering and microstructure of ceramics We saw in Chapter 1 that sintering is at the heart of ceramic processes. However, as sintering takes place only in the last of the three main stages of the process (powders o forming o heat treatments), one might be surprised to see that the place devoted to it in written works is much greater than that devoted to powder preparation and forming stages. This is perhaps because sintering involves scientific considerations more directly, whereas the other two stages often stress more technical observations M in the best possible meaning of the term, but with manufacturing secrets and industrial property aspects that are not compatible with the dissemination of knowledge. However, there is more: being the last of the three stages M even though it may be followed by various finishing treatments (rectification, decoration, deposit of surfacing coatings, etc.) M sintering often reveals defects caused during the preceding stages, which are generally optimized with respect to sintering, which perfects them M for example, the granularity of the powders directly impacts on the densification and grain growth, so therefore the success of the powder treatment is validated by the performances of the sintered part. Sintering allows the consolidation M the non-cohesive granular medium becomes a cohesive material M whilst organizing the microstructure (size and shape of the grains, rate and nature of the porosity, etc.). However, the microstructure determines to a large extent the performances of the material: all the more reason why sintering Chapter written by Philippe BOCH and Anne LERICHE. -

Uranium Glass in Museum Collections
UNIVERSIDADE NOVA DE LISBOA Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia Departamento de Conservação e Restauro Uranium Glass in Museum Collections Filipa Mendes da Ponte Lopes Dissertação apresentada na Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Conservação e Restauro. Área de especialização – Vidro Orientação: Professor Doutor António Pires de Matos (ITN, FCT-UNL) Lisboa Julho 2008 Acknowledgments This thesis was possible due to the invaluable support and contributions of Dr António Pires de Matos, Dr Andreia Ruivo, Dr Augusta Lima and Dr Vânia Muralha from VICARTE – “Vidro e Cerâmica para as Artes”. I am also especially grateful to Radiological Protection Department from Instituto Tecnológico e Nuclear. I wish to thank José Luís Liberato for his technical assistance. 2 Vidro de Urânio em Colecções Museológicas Filipa Lopes Sumário A presença de vidros de urânio em colecções museológicas e privadas tem vindo a suscitar preocupações na área da protecção radiológica relativamente à possibilidade de exposição à radiação ionizante emitida por este tipo de objectos. Foram estudados catorze objectos de vidro com diferentes concentrações de óxido de urânio. A determinação da dose de radiação β/γ foi efectuada com um detector β/γ colocado a diferentes distâncias dos objectos de vidro. Na maioria dos objectos, a dose de radiação não é preocupante, se algumas precauções forem tidas em conta. O radão 226 (226Rn), usualmente o radionuclido que mais contribui para a totalidade da dose de exposição natural, e que resulta do decaimento do rádio 226 (226Ra) nas séries do urânio natural, foi também determinado e os valores obtidos encontram-se próximos dos valores do fundo.
